Getting Vdub To Recognise Xvid Codecs

[Melville]

Got it sorted!

I googled for "xvid final release", found it and installed it. I was going to replace the .ax file with the one from the older release reccommended by entware. But just out of curiosity, I used the new codec to encode an episode of "the Prisoner" using the two-pass encoding guide found here: http://www.waystation.mcmail.com/. I might tweak the settings slightly to improve brightness / contrast etc, , but it worked!

So: The "1.0 final" build of Xvid works for GPCinema!

My setup:

GPCinema (non-free version; haven't tested with the free version)
Overclocked to 133mHz

File encoded using:
latest release of virtualdub
latest ("1.0 final") release of Xvid codec
settings in this guide: http://www.waystation.mcmail.com/


::EDIT::
A very helpful user of the unofficial Virtualdub support forum has told me what caused the dissapearing codec problem and how to solve it. The explaination and cure is here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24305

From the Xvid homepage, here: http://roeder.goe.net/~koepi/xvid.shtml

Its more or less the top news item on the page. Have fun!

Interesting. My findings (w/ the free version & the latest Koepi XviD) were:

320x240 15fps No worky. Resets the Gamepark
audio settings tried w/ it: 24kbit x 22050mono, 24kbit x 11025 stereo. (First I tried audio settings that weren't 11025, 22050,etc. like 24000.)


all reset the Gamepark Can anyone else confirm that the latest 1.0 final Koepi build doesn't work for the free version of GPCinema?

tonight I will install the latest version of XviD again and try it on 320x176 to see if resolution does in fact make a difference for it.

But those audio settings did work at 320x240 15fps w/ the very old version of XviD on Entware's site.
